Custom ATR Trailing Stop

7月18日

This Script creates a custom ATR (Average True Range) trailing stop. It allows traders to set up automated stop-loss levels based on the ATR, which adjusts dynamically to market volatility. The script is designed to support both long and short trades, offering flexibility and precision in trade management.
When loading the indicator to your chart, simply click to set the trade begining time, confirm various settings and you are set.
Check tooltips for more details in the input settigns menu.

• Resets the trade state when the stop-loss is hit, triggering an alert.
  

Plotting

V2

• Large candles trailing stop bug fix
  

After a large candle closes, the recalculated trailing stop loss (TSL) would sometimes be higher than the candle's low (vice-versa for shorts). This led to the TSL not calculating anymore, causing issues with plots and alerts. This problem has been fixed: a dotted lines will now show in such cases and alerts will trigger correctly.
